Anyone know whether Austar carries Fox Sports?

Last weekend involved canasta, movies and rather too much booze in the traditional Avoca fashion.

We were supposed to be attending the scuttling of HMAS Adelaide off the coast in order to create a dive site. As there were several divers in our party, it was a pretty exciting prospect. However, a last-minute legal intervention by a well-meaning but probably misguided group of protestors, er, scuttled that plan. Red wine filled the resultant gap in the schedule.

B1 got chickenpox of the most pathetic strain. No pain, no itching, no sympathy from dad.

After all this excitement, we need a break. For the long weekend M&I&Bs are heading north to picturesque Barrington Tops for a rain-affected holiday. A portable DVD player is on the shopping list in preparation.
